We still remembered during the original Google Nexus 7 launch in Malaysia September last year, one of our media friends asked about the availability of the rest of Google Play services (other than Google Play Games) to Malaysians. Well, the people from Google Malaysia didn’t have the answer that time.
Now, Android users in Malaysia shall rejoice as Google has announced last week the availability of its eBook service – the Google Play Books to Malaysians. In addition to Malaysia, seven other countries also get to access the service for first time. They are Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and New Zealand.
The number of ebooks are rather limited and at the time being, localised content are not offered. Anyhow, we shall see more and more titles added to Google Play Books. Hopefully local titles will be available soon.
P.S. : One of the benefits that ebooks has over books is the former are cheaper. Check out for yourself the pricing. 🙂
